It sounds like classic Tokyo City Pop session players -- think Tatsuro Yamashita or Casiopea rhythm sections. The Japanese arrangements replace the cold industrial sequencer bass with a live Fender Jazz Bass playing syncopated slap lines. Are there any full vinyl rips of the 7-inch singles available on FTP? -- Nadine Campbell "The carrier frequency does not drift by accident."
